Hi Kizashi lovers,

I am thinking of getting some carbon fibre parts (either replacement or stick on) made up for the kizashi.I am looking at the shifter surround (both CVT & 6spd)

and quite possibly the compartment door where the USB/cigeratte light sits.
airbox cover, side mirror covers, engine cover.

Would anyone be interested in a group buy?

They are 1/2 or 3k weave carbon fibre, can come in UV resistant gloss or matt finish. this is not the cheap stick on 3M vinyl crap, this is proper carbon fibre.

i am looking to go through a company in Sydney, Australia called www.facebook.com/Justcarbonfibreaus
www.justcarbonfibre.com (i've been advised the website is a work in progress and should be launched in the coming weeks)

I will be providing my car as the test mule to get parts fitted prior to final production.

if there are any other parts you would like to have done, show your interest here.

Interesting. So these will be stick on carbon fibre accents. How thick will they be? Will they look like cf-styled vinyl or more like the stick on interior kits that are already available for the Kizashi?

SamirD, i believe the currently available interior kits are the 3M fake carbon looking crap as they make the car/part look cheap. interior pieces will be very thing, 1-2mm
This will be proper carbon fibre with a UV resistant clear gloss coating.

eg: like this BMW M Series, with a nice shiney gloss coating

vs 3M fake carbon look

it will be a cover and held in place with some thin 3m tape for interior and mirror cover pieces (except airbox & engine cover as they will be screw/clipped on)

Interesting. Mirrors would be a nice match with the factory cf front cap.

you have factory CF front cap? do you have any photos.
Maybe this is a USDM only, not available in AUS.

I don't, but I thought I remembered it being a factory option.

maybe in US only SamirD, but definitely wasn't in Aus.

what about a rear window roof spoiler in either Fibreglass/Plastic/Carbonfibre?
it will be similar to the RKSport style

Currently in talks with justcarbonfibre and their manufacturer.

Will know rough prices shortly.
